      Retrieving
the unused Optional Practical Training (OPT)  For F-1 Students | 
    
| Hi
William: As a F-1 student in Optional Practical Training (OPT) and has an approved H-1B petition and change of status. If I am terminated by the H-1B employer before the effective date, and I have an unexpired EAD issued for post-completion OPT, can I retrieve any unused Optional Practical Training (OPT)? Answer: Yes,
but only if USCIS receives the withdrawal request from the petitioner
before the H-1B change of status effective date. Once the petition has
been revoked, the student must provide their
their Designated School Official (DSO) with a copy of the USCIS
acknowledgement of withdrawal (i.e., the notice of revocation). The DSO
may then request a data fix in SEVIS by contacting the SEVIS helpdesk.  |
